The BBC is a program open to blue belts and higher designed to maximize your martial arts experience. Students who are firmly committed to achieving their black belt and are willing to train consistently throughout the year are good candidates for this program. Once this commitment is made, additional training opportunities will become available. Our belief is that the more a student wishes to invest in their personal development, we in turn will provide them with additional methods and opportunities to help them achieve their goals.

What are the benefits?

BBC members receive numerous additional benefits, all of which are at the discretion of the student, and with approval from Master Caputo. With the exception of personal training, there is no charge for any of these programs. BBC members can learn about character development, social skills, and find out what it takes to become an instructor by joining our Leadership Program. They can hone their skills, get out in public, and develop teamwork by joining our Demonstration Teams. They can begin to explore the world of martial arts weapons with Basic Bo Staff Training. They become eligible to enroll in the Premium Program, which includes personal training. They get the prestige of wearing a Blue Uniform, and will be invited to special social events each month through our BBC Just for Fun program. Finally, members are eligible to attend additional rank specific classes in our Turbo Training program.

What are the costs?

There is no cost or schedule change when you become a BBC member. You may purchase a blue uniform for about $100.00 if you choose. Personal training costs an additional $60.00 per month, but is not required to be a member of the Black Belt Club.
